Programming languages that blew my mind (2023)

I’ve been a programmer since the age of 8, and some kind of developer for most of my life. Throughout my life as a coder, both hobbyist and professional, I’ve learnt plenty of programming languages that felt like cookie-cutter clones of each other, but also a few programming languages that changed the way I looked at programming, sometimes even at thinking.

OOP is certainly not my favorite paradigm, but I think mainstream statically-typed OOP does a few things right that are very important for programming with many people, over long periods of time.

The Shift from SPA to Full-Stack: Solving Complexity in Web Development

Let's set the stage with a cliché: software development is constantly evolving towards ever higher levels of abstraction. We have object-oriented and functional programming built on top of imperative programming on top of assembler on top of machine code. Each new paradigm starts with some rough edges that are gradually refined to a point where it's a solid foundation for the next paradigm. This is also what's been happening with full-stack development for web applications.
